I am SO excited to get back to America just to watch sports..i was mad i missed the superbowl but wont miss the NBA conf semis and on! :) On 6:28 PM Apr 17th 2010 from web

You always hear about the Superbowl being the most watched sporting event on the planet… with billions around the world tuning in.

It’s all lies. 106 million tuned into the Saints-Colts Superbowl, and that was the highest-rated ever. That’s barely a third of our own country, nevermind those around the globe.

During the 2008 Olympics, 4.7 billion people tuned in to watch at least some of the Beijing games.

Wherever Candace Parker was, they didn’t even air the Superbowl. So let’s not get too carried away with our American football.
